Adopt Hannes

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

A nice and somewhat cat-experienced new home is sought. I wandered around the Seidelbastweg area not long ago and was embraced by several four-legged friends and well cared for. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a proper owner, and so I would like to finally have a cozy sofa to call my own. I like to walk around the can openers' legs, also to be stroked... up to a certain point, I don't even like to be picked up. Therefore, no small children should live with me, but rather people who can accept that. A large secure balcony would also be great. Where are the right four-legged friends I'm waiting for?

Nettes und etwas Katzenerfahrenes neues Zuhause gesucht. Ich stromerte vor einiger Zeit im Seidelbastweg umher und wurde auch von mehreren Zweibeinern ins Herz geschlossen und auch gut versorgt. Leider gibt es wohl keinen richtigen Eigentümer und deswegen möchte ich nun endlich ein kuscheliges Sofa beziehen. Ich mag es, den Dosenöffnern um die Beine zu streichen, auch streicheln... bis zu einem gewissen Punkt, auch hoch nehmen mag ich gar nicht. Deshalb sollten keine kleinen Kinder bei mir wohnen, dafür Menschen, die das akzeptieren. Ein großer gesicherter Balkon wäre auch toll. Wo sind die richtigen Zweibeiner, auf die ich warte?

About Hannes

What life with Hannes looks like

Hannes is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheimverein Erfurt in Germany.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hannes, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hannes?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheimverein Erfurt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hannes on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hannes if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheimverein Erfurt will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Hannes already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Hannes isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheimverein Erfurt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hannes and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
